Travelling to college

Cycle racks are located outside the main building at the College. Students travelling to the College by bicycle from local areas can plan their route by visiting the Guildford Borough Council website.

Motorbike spaces are also available in the car park at the College.

The College can be reached via several routes, including the A3 and A31. There is a designated student car park on-site, which provides free parking.

The parking is monitored by a management company and fines are issued for parking infringements. Students and staff must register their details on the UKPS parking portal and information about this is on ALO and also available from Reception, and Advice and Admissions. Students may only park in the designated Student Car Park and only during College hours. Staff have their own designated car park, which is monitored all year.

Visitor parking is available opposite the College main entrance steps and all visitors must record their registration details at Reception to avoid incurring a penalty charge.

Parking Locally

The majority of the roads locally have restricted parking. Alternative parking is available at the Spectrum Leisure Centre (free parking) or the Lido, at a charge of £5 per day.
